The WHYThere are many reasons WHY people blog. The Whyis the catalyst that motivates us to start a blog and to keep blogging month after month. Before you jump in and start blogging about your passion, take some time to consider Whatare your short and long term goals for your blog? Make sure the reason Whyyou want to blog matches Whatyou want your blog to achieve. Let’s consider a few different types of blogs and how each of these would produce different outcomes.
Different Blog Types • Blogging for Entertainment and Fun Humor blogs, celebrity entertainment blogs, sports blogs, art blogs, hobby blogs, many travel blogs ,and most personal blogs fall into the category of blogging for entertainment and fun. Many photo blogs are also created for fun and entertainment, too. • Blogging for a Cause or Fundraiser Some blogs are created to support a business or non-profit organization. The blog is tied to the business or charity website and enables the business or charity to share information, raise brand awareness, and extend the brand's reach across the web.
Blogging for Education Some blogs are started as a way to educate people about a specific topic. For example, a how-to blog focused on teaching people how to start a successful online business or how to build a deck, would be an educational blog. It doesn't matter what topic the blogger is writing about as long as the purpose of the blog is to teach or educate the reader. • Blogging for Networking and Exposure Some may start a blog so they can expand their networking opportunities with professional peers. Through this type of blog, they can establish their expertise and extend their online reach. Blogging gives them the chance to expose their content to broader audiences, which could lead to business and career opportunities. Especially if the blog is connected to the various social media platforms. • To Market , Promote & Make Money Blogging is a great way to help market or promote yourself or your business, product or service. With patience and practice, you can make money through advertising and other income-generating activities on your blog.
